Today we went to the Guangzhou Zoo in the morning, another chilly, cloudy day. Haifeng saw her first zoo animals because there is no zoo in Zhuhai. Ha. Zoe campaigned until she rode the merry go round. We saw the pandas, tibetan yaks and camels and the rest. There was also a gator pool with a water ride that circled the gators and plunged off into the splash at the bottom.
Would you believe the old dude running the ride was hawking loudly for us to take the ride just to make a yuan even though we would have froze once we hit the bottom of the slide and got drenched in the water.
After that we went to a tea house for some tea, dim sum, etc. It was another enjoyable time learning about the way the Chinese enjoy their tea time. Haifeng and I both enjoyed the chili sauce but I let her take care of the chicken feet again. More power to her.
When we got back, I trudged through the herbal market to the pedestrian street by Holiday Inn to get Zoe some more McDonalds chicken nuggets. They are both happy campers now.
We have an afternoon tour tomorrow and Helen our guide picks up the visa packet at the Consulate.
